Back from the Beautiful Sea of Mermaids

This past weekend I was in LA for a long anticipated weekend at Kim's Les Sirenes event. It was a much needed relaxed, stress free weekend of classes, friends, and beautiful cool weather. Thursday AM I boarded the plane and soon arrived in LA where I met Colleen. We headed to our weekend destination the Belamare. What a fun boutique hotel. So many little details in the room made for a delightful weekend.

The Kleenex had a tissue rose sitting on top of it

My favorite the phone. Loved this phone

My comfortable bed

After a lunch with a few of the beautiful ladies we prepared for our first event the "cocktail " party hosted by Joy Campbell and Terry Frias.

Yummy lemon drop martinis

After indulging in martinis and appetizers we headed to the vendor event. I found some beautiful jewelry from Jamie, cute kits and treasures from Denise, a wonderful top from Deb Hodge, and beautiful laces and a new Kindle cover from Kim. MY shopping wouldn't be complete without a doll from Holly. I now have a beautiful Mermaid doll sitting on my computer desk to remind me of our wonderful weekend. I also now am the proud owner of holly's pin book. We visited and met so many new people. It was hard to say goodnight. But we did as we knew Friday would be a big day.
More tomorrow on Friday's doings

What a lovely post Sherry! I wish I could have been at the martini party longer than 15 minutes! But it was lovely! You took some really great pictures!

Miss you,

The Stockings Were Hung

I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
